Proportions of patients with clinical remission of collagenous colitis at months 2, 4, and 6 of maintenance therapy with oral budesonide 6 mg once daily or placebo.

Probability of survival free of liver transplantation in the 3 subgroups of patients while treated with UDCA according to the severity of portal hypertension (PHG <6 [no portal hypertension], 6–12 [moderate portal hypertension], and >12 mmHg [severe portal hypertension]).

miR-192 inhibition of macrophage inflammatory peptide-2a (MIP-2a) mRNA and protein expression. TNF-α–induced MIP-2a mRNA expression (A) and protein secretion (B) were significantly reduced in HT29 cells transfected with miR-192 mimic. The control mimic had no effect (*P < .005; **P < .001).

Functional activities of apical membrane Na⁺/H⁺ and Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ in intact villous epithelium. (A) Na⁺/H⁺ exchange (Nhe) activity in wild type (WT), down-regulated in adenoma (Dra) knockout (KO), and Nhe3 KO jejunum as measured by removal and replacement of luminal Na⁺ (representative of 3 mice). (B) Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchange activity in WT, Nhe3 KO, and Dra KO measured by removal and replacement of luminal Cl⁻ (representative of 3 mice).
